​

    This book To Live Well is to Hide Well, reveals the truth behind one of the most debated mysteries of World War II: the – assassination (death) of Polish Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief General Władysław Sikorski. On July 4, 1943, Sikorski’s plane, Flight AL523, crashed just 16 seconds after take-off in Gibraltar, killing him and others on board. Officially dismissed as an accident, this book provides irrefutable evidence that it was a deliberate act of sabotage orchestrated by Bronisław Urbanski—a Polish intelligence officer, spy, and assassin. Master of disguise.

    Bronisław, a key figure in Polish resistance and a covert operative for MI6 and later the OSS (now the CIA), confessed in 1984 to the sabotage of his plane and the resulting death of Sikorski months before Bronisław's own death. To Live Well is to Hide Well has his confession, backed by documents, eyewitness accounts, photographs, and expert analysis, reveals the precise and ingenious method he used to bring down the plane. This method, described in meticulous detail, has also been tested and verified by WWII air crash investigators, including Garth Barnard and Chris Wroblewski, whose 2023 book Sabotage! further confirms the findings. Furthermore, there are many Historians and Professors like Peter Zablocki (Polish History Professor) author of 'The death of Sikorski' 2024, also agrees with this author's book and many more. All except the 'Polish Government', who are embarrassed and ignoring all the expert Polish historians, WW2 Air Crash Investigators, experts etc. who are also classing this as an - assassination.

    The assassination is contextualized within the turbulent political dynamics of the time. Sikorski’s strained relationship with Stalin, his leadership of the Polish government-in-exile, and the clandestine activities of the Polish resistance group known as the Musketeers who made him a target. A previously funded by Sikorski elite secretive Polish resistance group, then Sikorski turns on them and attacks them. The result is a payback. This book also delves into Churchill’s possible awareness of the plot and the geopolitical stakes that influenced these events. There is much evidence for this.

    Beyond this pivotal historical event, To Live Well is to Hide Well paints an extraordinary portrait of Bronisław’s life. From his daring escapes during the war—like strangling Nazi captors to gain freedom—to his post-war espionage activities, Bronisław lived a life of constant reinvention. Fake names, false military ranks etc. His exploits even caught the attention of British writer Ian Fleming, who later drew inspiration from Bronisław while creating the James Bond character. Fleming’s personal connection to Sikorski’s assassination, tied to his wartime intelligence work and the closure of Operation Golden-Eye in Gibraltar, adds another layer of intrigue to this story.

    This very special edition UPDATED 15/11/2024 includes a new chapter presenting the newly discovered evidence which now solidly proves that Bronisław did serve as a member of Sikorski’s security detail. That now we can identify the man who coordinated the unique signal. These revelations, supported by historical experts and WWII crash investigators, bring clarity to an event long shrouded in mystery.

    To Live Well is to Hide Well is more than a tale of espionage—it is a meticulously researched account of resilience, betrayal, and the hidden forces that shaped history. Bronisław’s incredible story, as recounted by his son Peter Urbanski, finally brings to light the full truth about Sikorski’s death and the secretive life of a man who influenced history while remaining in the shadows.
His father wanted the truth told long after his death.

    "Furthermore, the claim that the British government or MI6 is withholding hidden documents is entirely baseless. In 2009, the UK government published its findings on this matter to dispel misconceptions, including those held by the Polish government, regarding the mysterious death of Sikorski and others.
